Seven Straight for I Am Invincible's Singapore Star

Breednet - Monday June 12

I Am Invincible’s Super Salute stretched his unbeaten streak in Singapore to seven when winning the Silver Bowl G2 on Sunday.

Starting a short-priced favourite, the four year-old was never in any danger of defeat, taking control of the race at the 200m mark under Manoel Nunes to go on an score by 1.3 lengths.

“He’s going the right way,” said Nunes.

“He’s improved race-by-race and he’s getting more mature now and he settled better. He’s a lovely horse and has a bright future here.

“You can put him anywhere. Today I had to jump clean in a small field. I had a good barrier and I rode him like he is the best horse in the race. I just put him there (leaders flank) to get out of trouble but it doesn’t really matter because you can ride him anywhere.

“Definitely he’s getting better race-by-race. Every race much better so I’m excited to see how he’s going to the next one.”

The Silver Bowl is the first leg of the Singapore 4YO Challenge series and the “next one” for Super Salute will be the second leg, the Stewards’ Cup Sng G2 (1600m) on July 2 before culminating with the Singapore Derby Sng G1 (1800m) on July 23.

Super Salute started life racing in Australia as Construct and was second on debut in the Group III ATC Breeders Plate behind Shaquero, but failed to deliver on that early potential with only one other stakes placing and a Kembla maiden win to his name.

A $650,000 Magic Millions yearling purchase from the Manx Park draft for China Horse / Newgate, he was re-offered on Inglis Digital in March last year and purchased by Jason Lim for Singapore for $110,000 and what an outstanding investment he’s been!

Super Salute now has the overall record of eight wins and four placings from 23 starts.

Bred and sold by Manx Park, Super Salute is the lone winner from winning Lonhro mare Martindale Hall, who has been retired from stud duty.
